The City of Fogdown

The Tithing Place

The Tithing Place

This area of trade and meeting is located through the alleys and back-ways one block south of the the Dockside Rope Company. Locals call it the “Tithing Place”. As one slips through a hole broken in a wall built in the ally, one emerges into a clearing behind all the buildings on the block, no bigger then 45ft by 30ft. By the corners, groups of humans play various games for money. In the center, is a prominent fountain.

The fountain, is a series of large black quartz stones craved into cascading rectangles. Water flows from the very tallest one, roughly 10ft tall, to the next, which flows to the next, finally running into a large basin, roughly 10ft in diameter.

At first glance, the basin looks merely to be poorly designed, but upon closer inspection the chaotic angles and sides of the black stone polygon basin actually make a recognizable shape. It is an outline of the undercommon letter, later used in Fogdown’s unique thieves cant, meaning: The Master of all Thieves.
